Do ministers really plan to give Britain’s natural assets monetary value?

Posted in: Comment, News and Updates

There was a report very late last year (ie, 31st December) that the government plans to give Britain’s natural assets monetary value and include them in the national accounts.  This is, it's said, to be part of the 25-year plan for Nature which is being steered by the natural capital committee (NCC) that is chaired by Dieter Helm, professor of economics at Oxford.  The object of the plan (I'd missed this) is "to reverse 60 years of environmental decline".

Some scepticism is due but you could likely sell tickets for the squabbles to come.
